To the cries of “Shorts for all!” also this year the Coachella festival opens the bare leg season. The line-up is more than ever mainstream, with stadium-heroes Kings of Leon headlining on day one, Arcade Fire’s epic indie-rock on day two, and Twitter king Kanye West, alongside with back-to-life Strokes, closing ceremonies. Plus the crazy, trippy energy of Animal Collective, the massive beats of The Chemical Brothers, Bright Eyes’s little guitars, Robyn’s infectious pop and the perpetual comeback of Duran Duran (among others) will make everyone happy.

And this year Italy is well-represented by the Bloody Beetroots, always ready to beat hard on their drums and bass. The late-Spring festival is also a moment of great freedom and fantasy for all those that do love music, but, you know, you must also please the eye, as they say, especially when you end up being photographed, as it inevitably happens when you are a music-loving - or simply a festival-going- celebrity. In the past years we have experienced the final comeback of boho-chic, a trend that is apparently here to stay, simply because it’s the best possible look one may embrace at festivals (especially muddy ones, like Glastonbury, were the rubber rain boot – sorry, wellie – is de rigueur).

Last year’s festivals offered an array of memorable ensembles, almost all embracing comfort, and very often almost nude looks (let the short rule, preferably buttock-grazing), in which boots are often paired with variations on the gladiator sandal or thong, and with bare feet on the grass. Plus the regular hippie looks with batik fabrics floating in the breeze, and the signature oversize sunglasses screening faces of well-known and less-known attendees. One thing is for sure: this year Kate Moss will reign supreme again, and anything she’ll wear will be copied (with not-so-brilliant results, we fear) by millions of girls. Let the dance begin!
